This song is such a bop!! I can see why they were catapulted by singing that thing you do 😏

I would have loved to have seen Tom Hanks as one of the musicians though, and the drummer resembles him a bit. I didn't remember what year the movie came out, so I thought maybe it was him when he was much younger 🤣

A very sweet movie, I hope you enjoy!!For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie.  You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again

Thank you so much for being here!!

FULL LENGTH REACTION | That Thing You Do (1996) [2025]

You need your own copy of the show to watch along with me though since this is solely my reaction. The video is there so you can have an idea when the scene changes in case you need to sync up, but it is HEAVILY blurred so I don't have any copyright issues. Enjoy!!

If you want to watch another movie with young Liv Tyler, "Empire Records" from 1995 would be a good choice

David Martin

The waitress in The Blue Spot is Tom Hanks' wife.

This film reminds me of my band days. I’m a drummer and grew up playing in bands. The biggest we got was opening up for Gym Class Hero’s, but then I got kicked out for the most cliche reason - drugs 😬😬😬 (clean for many years now). It’s such an amazing feeling being in the groove and just feeling the music. You get to a point where you don’t have to think about what you’re doing you just do it. You can just sing along and not have to look at where your sticks are going because it’s all muscle memory and feeling. The drums are fun because you’re sort of the “skeleton” of the song - everything else revolves around you and your beat. And you’re absolutely right - That Thing you Do is so damn catchy! I thought the movie was fairly vanilla and mediocre however. I suppose it works as just a fun movie that isn’t very deep and doesn’t pretend to be.

"Uncle Bob" was played by the great musician and fine actor Chris Isaak.

One of my top ten favorite movies of all time immediately after seeing it just once.

Two things Vero always does .. When someone sticks a firearm down the front of their shorts.. she is always worried someone is about to lose an appendage.. When she has the urge to use the word ‘bingo’ she’s fighting every inner instinct not ti pronounce the word like Christoph Waltz would!

Oh.. and who can forget.. almost anytime someone is cooking.. ‘peel ‘em’, boil’em’, stick em in a stew’..
